Jian Yunong casually mentioned it, and Huo Jincheng's expression turned strange. Jian Yunong immediately understood that she had hit the nail on the head!
"You saw it?" Huo Jincheng asked her.
Jian Yunong shook her head, "What is there to see? I was just guessing. After all, when he married Bai Ru, they didn't get divorced! I thought... this couple would be true love. I didn't expect... I was overthinking it; there aren't that many beautiful love stories."
Moreover, this situation was not beautiful at all. Bai Ru had stolen her own sister's partner, taking away her brother-in-law; this was what they called a mistress rising to power.
Not even half a year later, the mistress was replaced by another?
"Cheating is only different in terms of once versus countless times," Jian Yunong stared at Huo Jincheng. "My stance is that not even once is acceptable, absolutely not."
Huo Jincheng's gaze fixed on her. "We share the same attitude on this matter."
"Then good." Jian Yunong smiled and leaned over to kiss him on the lips. "Are you still angry?"
"Depends on your performance."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jian Yunong was thrown onto the big bed.
Jian Yunong felt a wave of ticklishness wherever his hands touched her, unable to help but laugh.
After laughing and playing for a while, their clothes scattered on the floor.
The curtains in the room were half-drawn, and the moonlight shyly streamed in. The woman's clear laughter gradually lowered and softened, turning into fragmented sounds that seemed both painful and pleasurable, singing of unknown joys.
In the morning, Jian Yunong woke up to the enticing aroma of food.
She hurried down the stairs in her slippers, finding Huo Jincheng's tall and handsome figure busy in the kitchen.
"Honey!"
It had been so long since I had seen such a loving scene. Jian Yunong rushed over, peeking to see what Huo Jincheng was doing, only to be grabbed by him. "Do you want to lose that pretty face of yours? What if oil splatters on it?"
"You're so fierce," Jian Yunong said pitifully.
Huo Jincheng: "..."
Ruffling his little wife's hair, Huo Jincheng softened his voice, "Go wash up; dinner will be ready soon."
With a whoosh, Jian Yunong almost turned and ran, faster than a rabbit fleeing from an eagle.
When the food was served, Jian Yunong happily swayed her head. If asked when she felt the happiest, it would be when eating the meals cooked by Huo Jincheng.
"What are your thoughts on your future life plans now?"
"I..."
Jian Yunong put down her spoon. "I've thought about it seriously, and I've decided to go back to school. I want to take the graduate entrance exam."
The job she was currently doing wasn't suitable for her. Did she really want to be a secretary for life, doing trivial tasks every time she went into the office?
She wanted to do something that gave her a sense of accomplishment and was truly meaningful.
As she spoke these words, Jian Yunong felt a bit anxious as she looked at Huo Jincheng. "What do you think?"
"That's great. As long as you've thought it through."
Huo Jincheng served her some food, saying, "I support you completely."
Jian Yunong's smile grew wider. "Then I'll start preparing the materials today."
"Which university are you planning to apply to? How about A University in Nancheng? Once you get in, you can stay and teach there."
"…"
A University?
That was a nationally renowned institution, and their history program was quite famous. Jian Yunong had never thought that far ahead; her goal was still to get into graduate school within two years, aiming for a university in Port City. That school had less stringent requirements, so she wouldn't feel as much pressure, and she also had classmates teaching there.
Jian Yunong fell silent, showing a troubled expression.
Huo Jincheng glanced at her. "So, which university is your ideal choice?"
Jian Yunong mentioned a name.
"No way, that's too far."
Huo Jincheng didn't want to be separated from Jian Yunong. "Nong Nong, all my companies are here. In the future, they won't move to Port City either. I don't want us to be apart."
Jian Yunong felt like crying. "Young Master Huo, were you a top student in college?"
Actually, that question was somewhat pointless.
In Huo Jincheng's study, there was a box that Jian Yunong initially thought was trash. However, it turned out to be filled with trophies, all haphazardly thrown together, each bearing Huo Jincheng's name.
Huo Jincheng raised an eyebrow, "Is it difficult? Nong Nong, if you're going to take the exam, aim for the best. Don't always set achievable goals for yourself. One cannot stay in their comfort zone forever."
"Mm, well said." Jian Yunong clapped her hands, "Actually, you just want me to be closer to you."
Huo Jincheng took her hand and looked at her with deep affection, "Would you really want to part with your husband? How would you know unless you try? Nong Nong, make an effort for me this time and aim for A University, okay?"
This jerk, does he know that she has no resistance against his gentle and affectionate demeanor?
So annoying.
Jian Yunong replied softly, with a hint of unintentional coquetry in her voice, "Alright, I'll give it a try, just for you."
Of course, it was also for herself.
If it weren't for Huo Jincheng's encouragement, she might not have even considered applying for the graduate program in history at Nancheng A University.
Huo Jincheng lifted her hand and kissed it gently, "After we finish eating and change clothes, I'll take you to A University."
"Right... now?"
Is it really necessary to be this dramatic?
"Let's go check out A University; that's where you'll be studying and working in the future."
Huo Jincheng knew that Jian Yunong was agreeing reluctantly; he wanted her to be willing from the bottom of her heart.
Jian Yunong could only nod, "Alright."
She was just curious about what A University looked like and what the history department was like.
They found a parking lot near A University and walked into the campus together.
Inside, there were young faces everywhere.
Jian Yunong quietly asked Huo Jincheng, "Do you think I look like a student?"
"You don't look like a student at all! You're a young married woman now, a young married woman!"
Jian Yunong pouted a bit, feeling wronged. Young married woman... that term didn't sound flattering at all.
As they passed by the campus supermarket, Huo Jincheng went to buy some water. When he returned, he saw Jian Yunong standing under a ginkgo tree talking to a man.
Huo Jincheng walked over, opened the bottle cap, and handed it to Jian Yunong, casually brushing her hair back with one hand, a nonchalant gesture that declared his ownership.
Jian Yunong held Huo Jincheng's hand and said, "This gentleman asked me for directions. He said he doesn't know how to get to Engineering School."
"Engineering School, just go that way," Huo Jincheng pointed casually.
The stranger looked a bit disappointed and immediately turned to leave, but he went in the opposite direction.
Jian Yunong was drinking water and didn't pay attention to this, but Huo Jincheng knew exactly what he was thinking.
Huo Jincheng felt somewhat displeased. Jian Yunong wasn't even that beautiful; when he first met her, he didn't think much of her at all. Why was she attracting men now that they were on campus?
Lowering her head, her gaze fell on Jian Yunong's face. Her lips, just after drinking water, glimmered with a delicate sheen, looking quite tempting.
Her upper lip curled slightly, the curve alluring and perfect for kissing—soft and carrying a hint of sweetness that made one unable to resist.
Jian Yunong's gaze unexpectedly met Huo Jincheng's. Thinking he also wanted some water, she asked, "Want to drink?"
"No need," Huo Jincheng shook his head, only wanting to kiss her. He leaned down and quickly pressed a kiss on her cheek.
Jian Yunong was taken aback. "This is school."
Huo Jincheng gestured with his eyes. Didn't she see the couple tightly embracing while riding their bicycles?
Jian Yunong silently shifted her gaze away.
Huo Jincheng felt particularly good; seeing the foodie Daughter-in-law's reaction, he guessed that Yi Nansheng had never been this affectionate with her at school before.
The College of History was nestled halfway up a hill, surrounded by flowering trees, with birds chirping all around.
The notice board at the entrance of the college displayed information about the instructors. Jian Yunong saw several renowned historians listed there. The textbooks she used during her university studies in China were compiled by these scholars.
Jian Yunong was especially excited. "I need to work hard; I must give it my all."
"By the way, A University has a cafeteria that is particularly delicious; it's famous among various universities."
Jian Yunong's eyes sparkled as she clenched her small fist tightly. "Yes! I must get into the graduate program here!"
The girl who had seemed a bit hesitant in the morning now had grand ambitions.
"Then let's go try the food at A University now?"
"......"
Huo Jincheng was convinced; it seemed that nothing was more important than good food, not even dreams... He felt a strange psychological balance.
Before the start of their graduate studies, Huo Jincheng made a review schedule for Jian Yunong, detailing what she should eat at each time point, and even hired a dedicated nutritionist to take care of her diet.
"What is this?"
Jian Yunong pointed at the last column of the schedule, "It's already eleven at night and you want me to exercise! I'd rather read more."
"That's our pre-sleep exercise. I'll do it with you."
"Yoga?"
Huo Jincheng looked at Jian Yunong with a caring expression, "If you prefer to call married life yoga, that's fine too."
Jian Yunong couldn't help but blush, lowering her head to look at the schedule, counting one by one, "In a week... one two three four... seven? Seven times?"
Huo Jincheng's voice was filled with laughter as he rubbed her waist, "Is that too few? How many times do you want? I can satisfy you."
"That's too much." Jian Yunong huffed, swatting his hand away and taking the pen to make changes, "In a week... twice, once on Wednesday and once on Saturday. Hmm. Perfect."
Huo Jincheng got up to leave, following her lead.
After all, when the time came, he would still do what he was supposed to do.
If you were to ask Jian Yunong what the most troubling thing she encountered on her path to the graduate entrance examination was, her answer would surely be surprising.
She has a husband, a husband who asks her to turn in assignments every night.
This reminds her of the fear of being called on by the teacher in math class back in the day.
Half a year has passed.
Finally, it was time for the National Graduate Entrance Examination.
Since the exam location was arranged at a distant Vocational College, Huo Jincheng took Jian Yunong to stay at the Hot Spring Hotel near the school.
It’s unclear whether it was the new hotel or if she was just too nervous, but at two in the morning, Jian Yunong was still wide awake, unable to sleep.
Huo Jincheng noticed her restlessness and held her close. "What's wrong?"
"I can't sleep."
"It must be because you don't want to do bedtime yoga with me. We could just roll in the sheets once."
"Huo Jincheng!"
